What if an American domestic crisis (e.g. pandemic or stock market crash) sucks funding away from the F-35 program for an extended period? This delay allows the Yak 141 5o get ahead and if it enters serious production just before the Berlin Wall falls, then the Yak factory will be desperate to sell to any tin-pot dictator who can come up with the money .. less expensive than F-35. A basic Yak 141 would be less expensive than the avionics-laden F-35.
